Development of information resources of the Russian Ministry of Defense,
as a form of perpetuating the memory of those killed in the defense of the Fatherland
The Russian Ministry of Defense continues to work on the development and replenishment of the interactive service "Memory of the People", which has combined the existing public data banks "Memorial" and "The feat of the people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945".
Currently, the interactive service "Memory of the People" includes:
over 106.6 million digitized pages of archival operational documents of the fronts, armies and formations of the Red Army (including 127 thousand files of staff documents, of which more than 48 600 files of the journals of combat actions of fronts, armies and divisions, documents and schemes for the control of military operations ;
58.0 million records from 21.3 million digital copies of documents on irrecoverable losses of the Red Army, military transit points and reserve regiments;
more than 42,000 passports of military burials, including 11,994 passports in foreign countries, with lists of those buried, documents about the places of primary burials of more than 5.0 million soldiers and officers, more than 1.2 million records of trophy documents about Soviet prisoners of war;
over 28.0 million records of awards documents;
about 51,800 historical maps and schemes of military operations of the headquarters of the fronts, armies and divisions, 12.5 million records with information on the maps about the accomplished deeds of soldiers and officers;
29.52 million cards about wounds and deaths from wounds in hospitals and medical battalions;
description of 227 major battles of the Great Patriotic War.
The intelligent system makes it possible, according to the archival documents available in the database, to restore the combat path of large formations, formations, military units and individual servicemen from the place of conscription to the place of death, the last place of service in the active army or returning home. In July 2017, the interactive service was supplemented by the Internet portal "In Memory of the Heroes of the Great War of 1914-1918". The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the RF Armed Forces, through the Russian Pobeda Organizing Committee, has been tasked with digitizing the original documents on the main battles, losses, awards and military burials of the Russian Imperial Army. The work will be completed by the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War in 2018.
The Internet portal "In memory of the heroes of the Great War of 1914-1918" contains information about 2,278,000 war veterans, including 115,144 killed and missing, 3,066 awards, obtained from the collection of Supreme Orders for the Military Department for 1914 , as well as 783 archival documents (historical materials with maps, photographs, documents of military units, newspapers and magazines of that time, as well as descriptions of seventy-six battles and hostilities).
The general concept of resource development implies the coverage of the entire history of the conduct of military operations in Russia, from 1914 to the present.
This project has no analogues in the world. Already now, it is an effective tool for protecting against attempts to falsify history. But the most important thing is an unprecedented opportunity to restore and preserve historical memory and the connection between generations.
At the present time, the Commission continues to work, which determines the possibility of placing in open access the information posted in the closed autonomous segment of the portal. As the Commission works, the information will appear in the public domain.
Instructions
Alternatively, you can look for the owner through the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. You just need to make a request to the department for registration of personalized awards, indicating the number of the order. For each medal with a number, a registration card was required, indicating the name of the owner. However, be prepared for the fact that such a request will either take a long time to process, or will be rejected altogether due to the fact that you have nothing to do with the veteran owner of the medal.
note
Be prepared for the fact that if you bring the medal to the military registration and enlistment office, they may be required to give it to them for further search.
Useful advice
Remember that you can only find a person by order or medal if there is a unique identification number for the award. In all other cases, this occupation is futile.
If you are in search of the owner of a lost reward that somehow got to you, it means that fate has rewarded you with a noble heart. After all, it is no secret that orders and medals, behind which stand someone's valor, courage, work, do not have moral value for everyone. For some, what a falerist or collector will lay out for them is much more significant. Finding a person by order can be difficult if the surname of its owner is not known, if the order was issued in another region or country. But in any case, you need to start with archived data.
Instructions
Contact your regional commissariat to find information on your region's awards. If it turns out that the order was not issued on the territory of your region, the specialists of the military commissariat will send a request to the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, if the owner is not established, the award must be returned by law to the administration of the President of the Russian Federation.
Continue your own search if you want to see it through to the end. You can contact the Russian State Military Archives, contact information can be found at the link: http://rusarchives.ru/federal/rgva/index.shtm... If there are award documents, use the information in the database http://www.obd-memorial.ru/.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has recently developed a portal that works on the principle of an electronic databank.
The portal is intended for the exploits of the Great Patriotic War. On the portal, users can find various information about the exploits, awards and other achievements of their parents, grandfathers and other relatives.
How this portal works can be found in this article.
The significance of the Portal Feat of Nations is not appreciated. Indeed, in the period from 2010 to 2015, the Ministry of Defense managed to make almost 30 million entries for awarding various orders, awards and other achievements.
Also, the site has about 2000 thousand archival files, which allow you to find a statement about a particular soldier. Today this base is expanding.
Attention! At first, the portal was developed as a site where it would be possible to learn about the awards that were received during the Great Patriotic War.
But today this information is only part of the data that can be found on the portal.
It is worth noting, that technical support for the portal is provided by the ELAR corporation, which provides the material and technical base for the portal's operation.
The project of the portal was created on the basis of the databank of two previous projects of the RF Ministry of Defense, Memorial, and the Hero of the People.
After these two projects were connected and new data was added to them in 2015 in honor of the anniversary of the Great Patriotic War.
As a result, a new portal Feat of the People was developed and put into operation, which brought together almost the entire history of the war from the beginning to the end of hostilities in Japan.
The Ministry of Defense itself points out that the purpose of creating this portal is the desire to perpetuate the memory of the heroes of victory, regardless of the title, scale of the feat, or the status of the award.
The main task is to educate the military-patriotic mood of young people on the example of the military exploits of their fathers.
Also, the portal was created to counter the falsification of the history of the Great Patriotic War.
The creation of the portal of the Exploit of the People today has no analogues in the amount of information it contains, as well as in the number of historical figures and data about these personalities.
Almost every citizen of the Russian Federation can find in the database his grandfather or another relative who not only participated in the Great Patriotic War, but also took part in other military operations for the period 1939-198.
In this case, the user can not only view information about a particular person, but also observe the development of events in relation to the link with a chronological map, which displays the path of the events of the war.
Using the site is quite simple and can be done even by those who do not particularly own a computer.
How to use the portal?
Going to the main page of the People's feat portal, you can see three sections:
1. People and awards. In this section, you can find the right person by his last name and initials, marks in award sheets, orders in file cabinets, and so on.
2. Award documents... Here the user can find decrees and orders for awards
3. Geography of the war. If you could not find a person, then you can use this section, which allows you to track the development of an event on the map in almost detail.
Attention! Users can downgrade to a legacy site that runs in Flash mode. Such a transition is needed for those who have any problems with access to information on the updated portal or problems with immersing maps or pages.
In order to find a person by IFO, you need to go to the People and awards section and enter any information about the person you want to find in the search bar.
This can be full name, date of birth or other data that allows you to individualize a person.
In order to narrow down his search, the user can use the advanced search, which allows you to enter the following data:
- date of birth;
- rank;
- the place of call and the place where you can find a person, for example, in award documents, an accounting card file, and so on.
You can also use an even more advanced search, where you can already specify information about the award, title, field, and so on.
All this information is needed in order to accurately identify a person and find out as much information as possible about her.
After entering all the information, you need to click on the search button.
After entering personal information on the next page, a list of persons should appear that match the entered parameters.
The user's task is now only to find the right person. Documents about this person will also be provided near the person.
So, for example, you can familiarize yourself with the digital form and study the documentation about the received award, and so on.
As a result, such information provides practically unique information that was simply impossible to obtain before.
Now this data has been declassified and made available on the People's Feat portal.
The documents section works on the same principle as the previous one. The only thing that will need to be entered in the search line is the document number, date of issue, restaurant, and so on.
There is also an advanced search that allows you to enter a more detailed description of the document to identify it.
So, the user can enter into the search data such as the author of the document, its inventory.
Also in this section you can find rewards, indicating which reward is needed.
Thus, if a user has at least some information about a document or an award once received by a loved one, then it is easy to find out information about it if you enter certain data.
After entering all the data, you need to click on the search and select the desired information from the list of results.
The third section is devoted to the geographical location of the passed event. In the search box, you can enter data about the city, region where the event occurred.
It is worth noting that the geography of war is needed to determine a particular document and its coordinates.
Therefore, all sections are distributed in such a way that the user, based on general searches in geography, can find the right person, document or award once received by a relative.
There are practically no barriers to obtaining reliable information and restoring the memory of their once lost relatives.

Search on the site Memory of the People
Hello everyone, who does not know I want to tell you about such a site " Memory of the people". This is not an advertisement, I just saw the news about the site on TV one day and decided to check it out. My grandfather Sergei Ilyich went to the front at the beginning of the war. Summoned from the village of Ulyanovka in Bashkortostan. I was there when I found him on the site, my grandmother casually kept throwing "I wonder if he was still alive and lost somewhere, or found another after the war." The funeral did not come to her, as I understood the grandfather was listed as missing.
She told touching stories. When the guys from the village went to war, they said "We will not return," that in the war they are shooting from the sky now. And I decided to find any information about him.
How to find a relative on the Memory of the People website?
I just typed in his initials and place of birth and immediately saw the following:
You can drive in the initials on the official website "Memory of the People: Site of the Ministry of Defense Search for a Soldier 1941-1945". The site is available at the link: https://pamyat-naroda.ru/.
I didn’t believe it right away, but it’s impossible not to believe such detailed information. Apparently, he was captured after the first battles, at the very beginning of the war on September 9th, 41st year. He died in February 42nd. Not only is this information exhaustive in itself, I also found a German document.
There was no limit to my surprise. POW camp Shtablak. (If there are people who know German, please translate the lines in the right column, I will be very grateful).
In the lower right corner with a PEN written the name and surname of my grandmother, Vera Makarova, the village of Ulyanovka, the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, Aurgazinsky District. All the details. I don’t know why when I see this document I feel uneasy. The Germans are incredibly pedantic. I hope I helped someone, good luck everyone, learn about the heroes of your families.
Attention! If your searches did not give the desired result, we strongly recommend visiting the site Feat of the people. The portals "Feat of the People" and "Memory of the People" (described above) are friendly and have the same essence, but some users have confusion between them. Meanwhile, we wish you successful searches for loved ones and congratulate you on the upcoming Great Victory Day! Hooray!
